Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    Marinade:
    4 cups plain lowfat yogurt
    2 tsp ginger garlic paste
    1 tsp elmon juice
    salt
    1/2 tsp garam masala powder

    Green Mixture:
    coriander
    mint
    green chile

    Ingredients:
    4 chicken breasts chopped into bite sized pieces
    2 large onion
    3 cloves
    4 black peppercorns
    1 or 2 large cinnamon sticks
    6 or 7 green cardamom pods
    1-2 green chiles
    1/2 can tomato paste
    basmati rice (enough to yield about 4 cups)
    Sindi Biryani Masala spice mixture
    Lemon

Tips

If you don't like heat (my kids don't) you can leave out the green chile (or decrease the amount).


Directions

Make the yogurt mixture. Place the chicken in the yogurt mixture and marinate for at least 4 hrs and up to overnight.

Cut the onions into small pieces and brown in a little oil, then place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom, and peppercorns on the oil. Add in the green chile and 2 tsp of Sindi Biryani. Put the chicken and the marinade in the pan. Cook until nearly all of the moisture is gone (about 1 hr).

Cook the rice about 2/3 of the way done and drain.

In a new pot layer the rice, then some of the chicken mixture then the green mixture. Squeeze some lemon over the green mixture. Repeat at least once until all ingredients have been used. Cook in the pot on low heat until the smell starts to permeate the kitchen (about 45min-1 hr).
